I was actually considering voting for the guy if he ran in 2016 cuz he actually is really moderate compared to other Republicans.

You might have to vote Dem now.

Chris Christie Is Over


Most damning, three of his top aides (former Deputy Chief of Staff Kelly, former strategist Mike DuHaime and the prosecution’s star witness, former Port Authority official and one-time Christie henchman, David Wildstein) have now testified under oath that Christie knew of the lane closures—ones that would strand thousands of motorists on the George Washington Bridge—in advance. Prosecutors have maintained that the lanes were closed by Kelly and Baroni as retribution against the mayor of Fort Lee, Mark Sokolich, who refused to endorse Christie during the governor’s re-election campaign, and whose residents were most affected by the obscene traffic delays, (the defense teams have maintained their clients’ innocence against nine charges of corruption and fraud).

On Friday, Kelly testified that she reviewed the plan with Christie on August 12th, 2013—nearly a month before the lanes were closed for an alleged “traffic study.” This directly contradicts what Christie has maintained all along, most famously in his 108 minute-long press conference on January 9th of 2014, immediately following the Bridgegate allegations—saying he had no knowledge of the lane closures:

“I had no knowledge or involvement in this issue, in its planning or it execution,” said Christie, “and I am stunned by the abject stupidity that was shown here.”

The fact that three of his consiglieres have testified exactly otherwise is very bad for Christie, but it’s perhaps the stuff the governor did afterwards that is unprecedented.

It was like the Governor had the mindset of a frat house or something. One of the more ridiculous things I've heard of a Governor doing. I mean, grow the fuck up, idiot.
